Bill de Blasio unofficially won the democratic primary race for New York City mayor, but the vote may have been too close to call.

As the days continue to pass, runner up Bill Thompson has still not given up on his hope that he will become the next mayor of New York City. According to the New York Daily News, 60,000 absentee and affidavit ballots have yet to be counted, which is nearly 10 percent of the vote. If the vote number falls below the 40 percent line for de Blasio after these other votes are counted, then a runoff would occur as a one on one competition between de Blasio and Thompson. The Daily News said that these extra votes would be coming from the central Brooklyn and Harlem voters, where Thompson's support is the strongest.

As of yesterday, it was not known whether Thompson would be conceding the race; some people have pressured him to give up because the vote is so close.

"I'm going to listen to the views of my closest supporters before making any decision," he said to the New York Daily News.

Bill de Blasio, on the other hand, spoke to his supporters at his party after the election and talked about the road ahead.

"What we have achieved here tonight, and what we will do in the next round of this campaign, won't just change the view of how things look inside City Hall, but will change the policies that have left behind so many of our fellow New Yorkers outside of City Hall," he said.

The winner of the democratic election will face Republican Joseph Lhota in the final race.
